Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Rob Dillingham (ankle) will miss a third consecutive game on Wednesday versus the Clippers. The rookie playmaker is nursing an ankle sprain. Dillingham has not been trusted much during his first year in the Association, but he recently produced a pair of strong outings when Mike Conley was out of the lineup. If Conley runs into new health issues, Dillingham might become a viable fantasy option again. Minnesota also won't have the services of Joe Ingles (calf) on Wednesday, but he's played an even smaller role in the rotation. The Australian veteran last saw action on Nov. 17.
Rob Dillingham Posts Impressive Double-Double Versus Magic
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Rob Dillingham registered an impressive double-double in Sunday's Summer League finale against Orlando, leading all scorers with 25 points and handing out a game-high 12 assists in a 115-100 win. He also snagged a pair of steals and three rebounds while doing the damage offensively with 11-for-18 shooting. Dillingham finished 3-for-7 from downtown. This was by far his best shooting performance of the summer. The Kentucky product averaged 13.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 7.6 assists with 36 percent shooting in the Summer League. He will start his rookie campaign as Mike Conley's backup in Minnesota.
